Recycling Concept

How it works!

RINGANA’s new glass bottles are not just a feast for the eyes: the ingenious airless system protects the natural, fresh and highly-effective substances in the bottles and makes it possible to expand the RINGANA recycling system. And so you also benefit from this recycling system:

1. Pamper your skin with RINGANA products

Step 1 has to be the most enjoyable and easiest: simply order your favourite RINGANA skin care products and pamper your skin with them.

2. Collect 10 skincare product glass bottles

Once you’ve used up your skin care product, keep the glass bottles with pump and “insides” until you have collected 10 of them.

Can I also send back the glass bottles with the old design?Yes, of course. We are accepting those too for our recycling campaign.

Why shouldn’t I remove the pump and the interior container?Removing the interior containers from glass bottles usually requires quite a lot of strength. This means there is a risk that the delicate neck of the bottle might be damaged and the bottle cannot be reused. Separating the two parts can be done far more efficiently by RINGANA at the recycling station.

Does it have to be exactly 10 bottles?Yes. 10 bottles or multiples of 10 (20, 30 and so on).

What should I do with the plastic bottles?These are not accepted for the recycling campaign. In the interests of the environment, you should put your empty plastic packaging into the recycling bin (the yellow one in Austria). This conserves resources and contributes to sustainability.

What should I do with the small glass bottles for the RINGANA drinks (RINGANAchi_& RINGANAdea _ _)?Please put the empty RINGANA drinks bottles into a glass recycling container.

3. Return the glass bottles to RINGANA

When you send 10 empty skin care product glass bottles back to us (WITH pump and inner container, please), we will give you one free product from the RINGANA skin care range.

The address is:

RINGANA GmbH
#recycling
Schildbach 209
8230 Hartberg
Austria

Please affix adequate postage – we cannot process packages that are sent without postage.

What should I put in the package?

Apart from the 10 glass bottles, you must enclose a recycling coupon (which provides the details we need to send you your voucher code) in the package. A standardised recycling coupon is available here for download. A hand-written note is enough too. You MUST provide at least the following information:

The e-mail address you have provided to RINGANA. Your voucher code will be sent by e-mail to the e-mail address included with your package. The code is for you personally and cannot be used by anyone else.

Your full name – for security reasons.

Your customer or Partner number (if you know it) and/or your address can also help us to identify you as the sender of the package – but these details are not mandatory.

I would like to return glass bottles for several people. Is that possible?
Yes, it is. If, for example, you return 30 bottles for 3 different people, a completed recycling coupon for each person must be enclosed in the package.

Should I package the glass bottles to protect them against breakage?
Even if our new system entails a significant increase in our recycling rate, its success also depends on the condition of the returned bottles. Wherever possible, please package the bottles so that they are protected against breakage – that is the only way you can give the bottles a chance of a “further” life. Tip: reuse an old RINGANA package filled with RINGANA maize pops.

4. Voucher code will be sent by e-mail

The recycling packages will be processed at our recycling station in the order in which they arrive. As soon as your package has been dealt with, the voucher code for your free product will be sent to the e-mail address that you included with the package.

How long will it take until I receive my voucher code?
We trust you will appreciate that it may take several working days to process your package once it has arrived.

5. Using the voucher

You can use your personal voucher code against a free skin care product at any time. Simply place your chosen products in your shopping basket and at the checkout enter the voucher code in the designated field (“Your voucher code”). If you have several products in your shopping basket, the code will automatically be used against the most expensive skin care product in your order. Please note that postage is also charged on orders when the recycling code is used.

Can the recycling campaign voucher code be combined with other voucher promotions?Yes, you can use several voucher codes.

Can I use several recycling codes against a single order?
Yes, you can also use several recycling campaign voucher codes against a single order.

What happens if I return, say, 20 empty bottles in one package?
In this case you will receive 2 e-mails from us, each of which will contain 1 voucher code.
